[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see so many posts saying that kids with high GPA can’t get into such and such a school.... I have a 9th grader in mcps. Last semester got all As except one B in a core (honors level) course. For spring semester, may end up with a C in that class, or may be able to pull out another B. Am I right to figure that [b]even one B takes Harvard, Yale off the table[/b] for a white kid from MoCo (no racial diversity, no geographic diversity)? And a C would take the next tier of schools off the table? To be clear, I’m not pushing kid to go Ivy but kid got it in their head a few years ago and has been taking about it. I’m just wondering what’s realistic. [/quote] Not really. A C may be unless you're URM. Generally speaking, you need strong GPA to be in the contention, at which point GPA is no longer important.[/quote] URMs with C's don't get an advantage, URM's with A's do.[/quote]
